I want to change the user in one command line with su
echo password | su user
But this is not working.
Is there a other possibility?

First of all: Ask yourself whether it is really necessary for a script to know the password.
sudoand SE-Linux usually give you plenty of options to avoid entering passwords.This being said,
suopens its controlling terminal to read the password, not stdin. You can usesudowith the-Soption to read the password from stdin.
